Just browsing over both books, they look fantastic! I'm a guitarist and uke player for over 25 years and was thinking about writing a ukulele book but you've already written what I think are the best, most comprehensive and thorough books I've ever seen for the instrument. I just might end up buying every book you've written and I'll be giving my highest recommendation for your books to my friends and students. Thank you so much for taking the time to write such great books! — Peter Rhee

Aloha, Curt,
All I can say is WOW! What you have accomplished is simply incredible!
All the best — Glen Hirabayashi, The Aloha Boys

Folks, if you haven't stopped by Curt's site, do so right now! ..And get his books, they are fantastic. This guy knows his stuff and is able to pass it along too. — Alan Johnson Proprietor, The 4th Peg

I can highly recommend Curt's Uke books — I have four of them and they are excellent. — fatveg — Portland

Curt Sheller Publicatin - Blog

2014 is the year for going full MVC, OOP and either Laravel or Yii. You wacky, nerdy geeks know aht I mean. Original.

2014 and MVC and OOP

This the year where I finally evolve the site from it's original hand coded html origins with no database and straight html, through it's current PHP, JavaScript and MySQL underpinnings with Bootstrap and finally redesign the site and use one of the frameworks below.

This will allow the user and site members to be more in control with their own development.

Then I can finally have a blog without the Wpordpress mess and all that the below frameworks and their community offers.

I tried Ruby and Ruby on Rails and really enjoyed it but have too much already invested in PHP.

And to think it all started with HyperCard in 1987 and DTP.

The web is a lot like HyperCard and in fact the original World Wide Web (www) was created using HyperCard.

HyperCard was an application program and programming tool for Apple Macintosh and Apple IIGS computers, that was among the first successful hypermedia systems before the World Wide Web.

According to Ward Cunningham, the inventor of Wikis, the wiki concept can be traced back to a HyperCard stack he wrote in the late 1980s, making HyperCard one of the grandparents of the Wiki idea.

Laravel is a web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. Laravel attempts to take the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in the majority of web projects, such as authentication, routing, sessions, and caching.
Laravel is built on top of several Symfony components, giving your application a great foundation of well-tested and reliable code.
Laravel aims to make the development process a pleasing one for the developer without sacrificing application functionality. Happy developers make the best code. To this end, we’ve attempted to combine the very best of what we have seen in other web frameworks, including frameworks implemented in other languages, such as Ruby on Rails, ASP.NET MVC, and Sinatra.

About Curt Sheller and Curt Sheller Publications

Curt Sheller Publications was created by Curt Sheller (me) in 1995 and has been on the web since. I have over 40 years of playing experience and I have been involved in private music education for the past 20 years.

With my re-introduction to the ukulele after a 20 year break and taking advantage of my jazz guitar skills, I began pursuing the potential of the ukulele. Researching the field I saw very little material organized at a level that works for intermediate to advanced players. I have developed an international reputation as a ukulele expert having written over 30 books on the subject of ukulele and over 10 books on guitar.
